Esophagitis

Causes, symptoms, and treatment for esophagitis
The disorder known as esophagitis is inflammation of the oesophagus, the tube linking the throat to the stomach. Usually stemming from irritation or infection, this disorder can cause pain, trouble swallowing, and discomfort.
GERD, or gastro-esophageal reflux disease, destroys the esophageal lining over time due to persistent acid reflux.
Particularly in immunocompromised people, infections of fungal (Candida), viral (herpes, CMV), or bacterial nature can cause oesophagitis.
Medications: If used incorrectly, several pills—such as painkillers or antibiotics—can irritate the esophagus.
Eosinophilic oesophagitis results from food or environmental allergies.
Radiation & Chemical Injury: Severe esophageal inflammation can result from cancer therapies or drug use.
Oesophagitis symptoms include odynophagia, or painful swallowing; heartburn; or chest pain.
Regurgitation of acid or food
Hoarseness and sore throat
Available Treatments:
Medications include antifungals for an infection, corticosteroids, and antacids.
Dietary Changes: Steer clear of trigger foods and spicy, acidic meals.
Modifications in lifestyle: keeping a healthy weight and eating smaller meals.
In severe cases, dilatation surgeries may be necessary.
Early therapy improves esophageal health and general well-being by preventing problems such as strictures and ulcers.
